Well, im more in favor of the ‘take over’ angle in this discussion but… i can simply not resist the temptation of some good old mecha destruction!, i will break havoc over the entire southern hemisphere if you are so kind as to provide me with a MadCat mecha… oh a i reserve Argentina as my personal feud, you can have the other less important places of the world if you want them… ---

You pathetic fools. Give the Crunchy amphibian Missouri? Hardly. It is to be complete destruction. I will seize control of the world’s television satellites and feed nothing but a single episode of “The Golden Girls”. Over and over and over again. They will beg for mercy and tear themselves apart. The Earth will bust open like a rotten persimmon. Make whatever arrangements your particular religion calls for. ---

~~Uh, Saepiroth, you know it isn’t healthy to get overly excited while in a group of people who are talking about destroying the earth, or taking over, or both… You could be up to something not in accordance with the game plan… Maybe you should be um…taken care of… …and we have a pretty good idea of where you’re at, **Location: Kansas City, Kansas, U.S.A, earth, Sol, Milky Way, Virgo Supercluster, universal arm 279, dimensionality plane 175.212.567.970.(014)** just a thought, hope you’re on the team 😉 ---
